It does raise a good point about how far they are willing to alter the artistic vision to make money. I know I don't want to see a bunch of white guys walking around bailu village(and I'm white so I can say that :P ).

I agree to an extent. Having your name in a guest register is one thing but having your face be featured on a Chi You Men member I think may be going too far. I am of ethnic background which in the context of Shenmue lore/time period would make absolutely no sense me being in a Chinese underground gang.

I hope this is an optional feature that may be turned on in a new game plus way.

It's a cheap way to make a lot of money and make a great game. Sorry for not caring. I can't say I'm surprised we're still going to have a bunch of negativity no matter what happens.

I mean honestly, is this what you want to see as a chiyomen member?

Yeah i don't care if i see someone's face in the game, we need the money!

Anyway i think the lucky hit reward is a bit too overpriced, it's still 4k$ for a relatively minor thing...

There were random faces over all Shenmue I and II on magazines and so on, so I think it's fine. The Chiyomen member won't actually be a significant character either.


Not to mention is only 5 characters. Its probs something like the 70 man battle at the end of S1. Yu isn't going to do anything that is going to mess up the game. The pledge even says that Yu has the say of the body and look of the NPC. I really wouldn't worry about it.

The lucky hit boards will probably have to option to turn off the faces, and even if they don't, if you're on PC we can just mod it lol.

I was just away for only 2 hours and then comes an update after midnight. Really happy that the KS included the physical PS4 version, now more new backers who have been on the fence will now donate! :D

If it means the team gets more money, I'll learn to live with it.

Damn this has really woken the campaign up! Not long until $4m is achieved... Bloodstained is definitely in trouble now! :D

The KickStarter is going crazy again! Awesome news guys!

All we need to do is spread the word that we are getting a physical copy for PS4, it might encourage the more casual gamers to donate. I hope the big gaming websites will post this news, we need the awareness.

My problem with the using faces thing is immersion. Like, we'll be in rural China and shit, and see white peoples faces plastered all over a train station? What the fuck? Will they make the Chi You Men NPC's look Chinese? Hopefully they do? Because I really don't want to be fighting some random white guy with no explanation in the middle of the Chinese boondocks. :-k

It's limited to 5 people lol. People need to calm down. Its probably going to be some no named NPC that you see once, or don't even notice in a Shenmue 1 like 70 man battle royal in the base that Yu said we are going to infiltrate. Yu isn't going to do something that will ruin his vision guys, have some faith please :P

It will be handled well, trust Yu. Mad Angels was full of foreigners. And remember the scout in Shenmue 2 who was recruiting to send fighters to the ChiYouMen in China. Foreigners are everywhere :P
